Prom dress help

8 replies

Ohyesiam · 26/01/2020 15:02

My dd has her prom in July, and she is a very different shape from me, so I could do with a bit of help.

She is;
5’9”
Long legs
Hourglass shape
Fit ( so not flabby) but quite chunky bottom and thighs

She wants;
A long dress
Very simple and strappy but not backless/ low back
Would consider a split in the skirt
Likes navy , grey , black possibly red

We both want to keep it cheap

She doesn’t own a dress, lives in leggings and hoodies ( trains 3 nights a week). She’s body confident.

If nike or Adidas did long dresses she’d be very pleased!

Does abound have any ideas or inspiration for websites?

Many thanks

Dorothy Perkins ‘showcase’ is worth a look. Lovely dresses and very reasonably priced

Have a look at Instagram. I can recommend these shops as I have bought from them & modelled for 2.

I’d take her to a prom shop for a big try on for colour and style and then find it cheaper, maybe 2nd hand? Lots for sale on fb at the minute.

The “worry” from buying in a regular shop is that another person will have the same dress on.
